AustrianMission.at launches contest for Christian artists
A CHRISTIAN equipping organisation, AustrianMission.at, will play host to the first Christian song contest in Austria, the geographical heart of Europe. Artists from all over Europe will compete on either the 7th or 11th July. Said the event's Joshua Ben-Yehoshafat, "There are no entrance costs to the Austrian Mission Song Contest. The goal is to encourage Christian artists and musicians to make music for the Lord, to increase their enthusiasm for godly music, and to use holy music as a tool to bring in the spiritual harvest that is ripe for the taking." The judges in the contest will include Godfrey Birtill (UK), Arne Kopfermann (Germany) and Timotea Vrablova (Slovakia). Entry forms including entry guidelines can be printed from http://austrianmission.at/song.html
